Miami Shores adds benefits for domestic partners

Miami Shores city council has voted unanimously to offer domestic partnership benefits to it's employees.

Miami Shores is now the 6th municipality in Miami-Dade county that offers these benefits. Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami, South Miami, Palmetto Bay and Miami-Dade County all already offer the benefits.

The move comes just months after openly gay Jesse Walters was elected to the council. Equality Florida Action PAC endorsed Jesse in the April election.
